Dales Way Blogs

This is a page for some of the many blogs about the Dales Way that individual walkers have prepared. Some take the form of text accounts of the walk, with photos. Others are video blogs. Please let us know if you would like your own blog adding, or perhaps recommend a blog you have seen for inclusion.

The Dales Way Association is not responsible for any of the content of these blogs. Please be aware that some of these blogs were produced some time ago; things change all the time, so you should treat these accounts as "historic".

 You might want to create your own new blog and let us know. Useful free websites for creating blogs include: www.blogger.com , http://wordpress.org , and www.youtube.com
